and Sir J. , lirt Newport, the Giant was postponed to • Wednesday. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHFIQUER moved a Grant of too,oool. for the relief of the - Poor Clergy. The Right Hon. Gentleman. went into a lengthen,A detail of the stipends they enjoyed in various parts of the kingdom, and stated by what prorortions of of the population they were severally paid. There were in Eogland t 1,700 benefices, The stipends of more thin 6000 of them did 'not exceed 1501. per annum. The number of residents amounted to about 4 . 400 .; of non-residents to 6700. It was to be ob served, that some of the number were virtually resi dents, though they were non-residents ,in point of law. He was, however, of opinion, that inore than a_ moiety of their number -were non-residents.- After some further statements, he concluded enforcing on the,Committee the propriety of the Grant. Mr. TIERNEY thought the wealthy Clergy ought to aid their poor brethren. Beneficed as they were, it was monstrous to come to the public for relief.— He did not mean to oppose the Grant, but he hived some Honourable Gentleman, better qualified to treat the subject than. himself, would give it his atten tion, and bring it before the House in the ensuing Session. - A long and desultory conversation followed, in which .Mr. W. SMITH, Sir J. NEWPORT, •Ite CRANCELLOR of the EXCIIksaUER, Lord MILTON, IVIr. W. WYNNE . , and Mr. WILBERFortee-partici paced. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL did - not know that.there had been any valuation of the First Fruits since the reign of Queen Anne. He supported the reolu- Lion. Mr. H. MARTIN observed, that the Leained Gen tleman did not. conceive the true meaning of the statutes of Queen Anne. He entered into a detail of the various arguments advanced by Bishop Bur ' netion the % aluation of First Fruits, and adduced the numerous Statutes which had,been enaaed on this suhjed. He alleged that the persons who now di- tide among themselves the property of the Church, are infinitely richer than any part of the laity. Till there was ,brought before the' House a proof of there being Cler i gymen totally Onprovided for, he would not give his consent to the Resolution. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought that it would disturb a point of law, if the First Fruits were not collated legally. He supported the Resolution. Mr. A. BARING and Mr. D. GIDDY made a few observations in opposition to the motion. The question was then ptit, aid the resolution, was agreed to. :Mr. WHARTON then proposed the following re solutions, which were severally agreed to. A grant to his Nlajt:sty of 2817. fur defraying the expellees .of printing tzso Copies of the 23th and 29th volumes of the journals of the House of Peers. 41564 for printing certain Copies of the journals of the House of Peers, commencing with the time of Henry V 1 I I . r,iso for defraying outstanding demands fc.r works and repair's done to both Houses of Parliament, and the Speaker's tiuuse. • £ 1.5 16 :or erecting light-houses at Helig6land. szi for the carrying into etled a plan tor exploring the interior of Africa. - £BB5 t for defraying the ex pences of improvements in the avenues,leading to Westminster-hall. .£21,000 as compensation for the services of the Commis sioners Of Public Expenditure. 4'Booo for the compensation of the services of the Com missioners of Windsor liinest. • £3ooa to the Nlatiailal Vaccine institution. 444 to :flake good cotani sums due tv the' Cover= of Fort St. George. ~ . £389 for .tlic Prionlll\.Shesr.;tess. . £42(, to Mr. T.

On the suggestion of Mr. WIIITBREAD, the two following resolutions. were postponed . for ..a • fur ther consideration to Wednesdil 0341. .to Mr. • - James Reild, for the - expellees of Special Consta— bles employed in :he hate disturbances ; and 1931. to the representatives of Mr. Morris, late Surveyor- Ge- . neral of Nova Scotia. The House resumed, and the Report of the Committee . was ordered to-be brought up to-mor . row. A message from the Lords announced their as sent to the London Docks Bill; the Excise Super annuation Bill ; the Loan Bill ; the Jsle of Man Consolidauoi Bill ." and ieveial other private Bills. On the motion Mr. BAN &Es, the Report et . the Committee on Public Expenditure was ordered to be printed. Mr. WHAr,Toz4 brought up the Report of the pro ceedings of the N itional Vaccine Institution. Or dered to be printed. that the Catholics had been led id consider the Union as the furerutiner ut their eman. ipation, ,At a time when a general Union was neces-ary to our, safety, bigotry should not be suffered to cut .the si news of our strenKth, an example should be taken from the surrounding desolation. Mr. O'Hara. was sorry, twin private considera tions, to differ from the Right Honourable Mover; he was -not, however, to CatholicAmanci pation,,but Parliament havaig in 1792 granted to t he general body certain pi and removed various restraints under which they Libor:red:he thought they ought to be content.. He - could not "concede to them legislatiVe power, because that would be con trary to the principles of the Constitution. The Marquis of TAVISTOCK adjured the House to go into the Committee, in order 'to satisfy the Ca tholics that they were ready to examine into their claims, and give such relief as was just, reasonable; wise, and politic. It would be, in ,his opinion, more dignified in the House so to act. With respea to the Veto, that appeared to him as having been drawn in to embarrass the question, and he did not see any benefit to he derived from it. He doubted much whether they could conscientiously grant it. Sir T. TUItTOI.I" expregsed himself It iendly to Ca tholic Emancipation, but should vote against going into the Committee, because he conceived the time is chosen. Mr. TALBOT ' supported the motion which he thought was neceshary for the preservation of lie land. If the claims were granted,-it would be the means of strengthening the interests of the king doms. An Hon. Member could not agree to the,motion, having no hopes of satisfying the great body of the Catholics. .He was disposed to admit the loyalty of of the major part, bat thought the king should _have the coutroul over the religious establishment. Mr. PARNELL was in tabour of the m o ti on . , die not apprehend the danger w,liiCh some did in ad mitting their claims, because the influence of the Pope was not so great as Many seemed to think.- He drew a parallel between the cases ot Irehiod and Eng-. land., and Wales and England, previons_to the 'repre sentation of 'Wales in Parliatnenr,. in the reign of Henry the Eighth, and recommending .c9n cessions to Inland, as the means of uniting the People and securing the Constitution. He referred to a declaration ot the Catholics of Kildare, made the 9th May, to spew that they %s ere ready to make canoes tiotis. Sir RALPH MILBANKE recommendecrto the House to secure 'the affections of the People of Ireland, by acceding to the claiin - s'of the Catholics, founded as they were, on the principles of justice. Mr. M`NAGHTON would not agree to the claims, unless tije Catholics would give to his Majesty a ne gative in the nomination of the prelacy. Mr. BA aHAN supported the motion, and contend, ed that the Catholics had clear and indefeasible rights which it behoved the House to grant. He deprecated what Le termed intolerance to nearly four millions of people Who had defended the Kingdom against the common enemy. The House were bound to attend to the Petition on every principle of justice. Captain PARKER contended.that . the Catholics in out service were not oppressed by Protestant par- Mr. R. DIiNDAS replied to the arguments of the former Speakers. • He wished to know if the Right Hon. Gentleman who So much wished to go into the Comities had any thing to propose on•the sutjeal of the veto that would be likely to satisfy the Catholics of Ireland. Ha was assured he had not. If the opinions ofs Lord Grenville, Lord Grey, and Lord Lansdowne were worth any thing, he thought the- Right Hon. Gentleman would have done well not to have brought the subject forward at this moment.-- As long as circumstances continued to be such that the question could not be discussed without exciting feelings dangerous to theState,:so , long, •for one, he must oppose going; into a COminittee on the sub jet. • . , • Mr. W. WYNNE concurred in the propriety of guarding against the effeeks of a foreign nomination, but contendcd, they ought to endeavour to make some arrangement which would be satisfaCtory to satisfactory to both parties, as giving the Catholic emancipation, and the P.rotestant . security. • He should.tlk.refore most cheertullygive his vote for go ing into the Committee. • - Mr. M. EITZGURALD did not thank the veto ne cessary: He would pledge hitnsQlf, that while the Pope remained a pri6onvr, the Catholics of Ireland would have no communication with him. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL i 'alter some observa tion on the general principle, obeded to going into the Committee, because it would lead to no praEti. cal good, and it would be worse to rcjeal the prayer of the Catholics after going " into a Committee than Sin the present state of thins. Sir G. SEBRIGUT suppot ted the motion. Lord G. GRENVILLLE dtiendeci a passage of the Letter of Lord Grenville which had been"advert ed to. Mi. P. MooRE made some observations, but the cry for the question was• se great, that, he could not be heard in the Gallery. • • Mr, GRATTAN replied. He concluded by observ ing, that the State had no right to make a law of Heaven. It was true that the Pope invested, but he did not nominate. The present policy seemed to be to draw a line of communication between Ire land and Fiance, and one of separation between Ire land and Gtaat Britain. Mr. RYDER explained, The question was then loudly called for. The House divided. . For the question - 'tog Agautst it 213 Majority -104 The motion was of course lost.—Adjourned at. Four o!Clucls this morning. ELECTION BRIBERY, &c. , W. WY NNE rose to state the objea of a Bill, which he now proposed to move tin leave to bring in. It was not his intention to occupy for any time the attention of the House, as he was aware of the important question • which was this night to 'come forward. He granted that there at present existed sufficient punishment for bribery (4; d corruption 'in the election of Menibers, but there still remained a difficulty in proving it. It was his ohjed to repeal the provisions of George the Second on this subject, and to substitute in their place the two 'following : First, that if any person before an Election Commit tee should discover an at of bribery, he should be indemnified for it; and second, that an Eledion Committee should have a power of examining any person, if so accused. He therefore moved for leave to bring in a Bill for altering and rendering mere efieduai the laws for the prevention of bribery and cot ruption 'in the eiedion of Members of Par liament. " • ' Mr. JonNsoN protested against the introduction of the Bill for the present, be gave notice that he would oppose it in a future stage. Mr. BARtNo postponed the second reading of the line Insurance Bill tilt Tuesday. CATLIOLIC-QUESTION.—AMOURNED DEBATE. M. HUTCHINSON moved the Order of the Day for resuming the Debate, on the motion for referring the Vatholic claims to a Committee. The Order was accordingly read; upon which Mr. Hutchinson comiLenced a speech of some length, in the course Of which he condemned the Popery laws as unwise and unjust, shutting out as they did such a portion it f the talents of the Empire from the avenues of ho iw, cicyatioui, Rnd reward. He denied that the tebelllon of 1798 was of Catholio origin, and said CELEBRATION OF XX PITS BIRTH-DAY: I LIVERPOOL.

Nctesw..; rose and thanked the company for the honoUr they had done him. If any exertions on his part had contributed to prorrtte the wi'::hes of the Meeting, he felt particularly gratified; but the' merit was principally du% to the Committee, whose atteniions• had been tinahating. He felt the most lively sitistattion in the enthusiastic loyalty so feelingly displayed by the Ineeting,.and he trust ed that though this was the first public commemo ration of the birth-day of the illustrious statesman whose principles they revered and cherished, it cluld become an annual observance in.

He was happy to find that warm sentiments of loyalty, and sound constitutional principles continu 7 .ed'to distinguish the town,of Liverpool.

" EVERARD HOME.'I The latest accounts from Lisbon continue to re- present the Portuguese troops as. in the highest state of discipline, ardent in the cause of their country"! and in perfect harmony with .the British forces , Lord WELLINGTON was constantly on the alert, prepared to take advantage of any favourable event that might occur, but equally prepared against any snare into which the enemy might attempt to drays' him. It was confidently rumoured that he WO about to remove his head-quartets from Almeida into Spain,•but no certain intelligence had been re- cefved that that event had taken place. It was said that JONOT, after taking possession of Astorga , had direaed his forces . towards the frontier* of Portugal, and that LOISON and he had ac . tually united their powers for an attack on tOt country. There was also a report at Lisbon, that - ' in a contest between the advanced posts of both armies, three hundred of the enemy and a Colonel bad been taken prisoners. They were in the most necessitous condition, with hardly any covering , which . they 'accounted for by the interception of convoys. It was known that a number of Fiench spies had spread .theinselves over Portugal, and two had been taken up in women's attire at Lisbon. According to recent accounts from the South of France, MASSENA, at the head of 75,000 men, werc in full march toward, Spain, of which he had pr mised to effed the entire subjugation ; but tbis no doubt, to be considered as French exaggeration , fur if so many troops had entered Spain as - the French Journals have stated, there must already be a pro digious French army in that country, or they mLI have snffered a dreadfill devastation, which they $ O. by no means disposed to acknowledge. - A letter received 'this morning from Liverpool' of date 31st ult. states that the Miranda, from Bris tol, arrived at Boston in March, and had penDissfori 'to enter at . the Custom-House. When hall Pe r cargo was discharged, an order Came from the Awe . rican Government to seize ship and cargo, 'aDcion the gth of April they remained under seizure. The Debate upon the Catholic Question tenni' nated in ,the House of Commons this morning at four o'clock, when Mr. GRATTAN'S motion was ne gatived by a very large majority. The Bulletin respeating me. wiNDlimes health this morning-th as tdlows Mr. Wz ND HAM has had a I:ss restless night than!" two preceding, and is , in the same situation as yesterday.' at It is with much sati s f a ai on we a dd, from the - h authority, that since the aboveteport was given, lbe appearances are not quite so b.:d as yesterday, and that the possibility, at least, of his recovery is &U proved, though in a very slight degree. • The KING, QUEEN, and -PRINCESSES, came t° town 'yesterday, ; and, as might be expected,. wer e most minute in their inquiries, and evinced the tit' most solicitde ih regard to the state of the -Duke of CUMBERLAND. Advices have been received in England so latesf the 4th of January, Itoin Sir H. Job/as, our Minis' ter at the Court of Tahran. Sir H. was residing at Tauris, the capit.tl of Azarbaigan,. with the Prince Royal of Persia, ABBAS MuitzA, who had obtained permission of his father that the An)oissador and Suite should spend th e w i nter at his court. Tbc power of the Euglish interest has been' so strength ened in Persia, by the consumr.aste ability of the Envoy,. that no French influence will be able to erea itself again in Persia. Letters were yesterday received from .Corunna, to the date of the 18th ult. Some of them mention that the 'F►ench had withdrawn f;om Castropol, a t the North Western extremity of Asturias, and re treated to Oviedo, to which place they were pursued by the' Patriots. Another letter has. ►he tollowing paragraph, which, it correct, as to what it onserve s of the South-eastern provinces, %sill expose the falsehood of the details in the Afoniteurs, of th e state of the war in that direclion.
